I didn't choose the thug life, the thug life chose me.

All I'm trying to do is survive and make good out of the dirty, nasty, unbelievable lifestyle that they gave me.

Thug Life to me is dead.

I don't see myself in terms of artifice. I see myself as a real person who chooses to live my life in an open way - artistically.

I'm a bit hesitant to do anything because I'm actually kind of lazy and I'd like an easier life from now on. The world's a massive place with lots of early mornings and late starts when you're working.

It's not me trying to act or pose in a certain way. It's a lifestyle - like a suaveness or a swag, per se.
